MODELS OF THE INTEREST OF ALGERIAN SCHOLARS IN THE SCIENCE OF HADITH DURING THE OTTOMAN ERA

Abstract

This article addresses the interest of Algerian scholars in the field of Hadith studies, by examining the most prominent figures who excelled in this science, foremost among them Abu Nasr al-Daoudi, who was the first to comment on Sahih al-Bukhari. The article also explores the Algerians’ connection to Hadith and the reading of Sahih al-Bukhari through the works of ‘Abd al-Razzaq ibn Hammadoosh, who detailed the celebrations upon completing Sahih al-Bukhari, and Ibn Maryam al-Tlemsani, who introduced a significant number of scholars who studied and authored works in Hadith. The article further presents two important examples of Algerian scholars involved in Hadith studies: Said al-Maqri and his nephew Ahmad al-Maqri.
